RyseUp Studios and Starbreeze's Roboquest has been in Steam Early Access from 2020 up until the present. All that fine tuning is now coming to an end because Roboquest has fully launched on Xbox and PC at last. Not only is the game on all the big PC storefronts, it's also available through Game Pass, which should greatly help with find...
The Behemoth is an American developer that created one of the best cooperative beat 'em ups of all time: Castle Crashers. After releasing Pit People way back in 2018, the studio has been relatively silent - until now. Alien Hominid Invasion recently launched on consoles and PC, and it's an exciting co-op follow-up to another Behemoth favorite, the run-and-gun shooter, Alien Hominid. This one features online co-op, something the original game never had.
Alien Hominid started its life as a Flash game back in 2002. The game was ported to numerous consoles over the years, most notably to Xbox 360 as Alien Hominid HD in 2007. Now, nearly one million years later, modern players have a chance to enjoy the run-and-gun action with a fresh round of mildly enhanced ports. Alien Hominid HD has arrived on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, Switch, and Steam.
Ask anybody, and they'll tell you that Jumanji is a dangerous game. That hasn't kept people from playing it, though, whether in the movies, an animated TV series, or video games. Jumanji: The Video Game must have done pretty well, because its sequel has just arrived courtesy of Cradle Games and Outright Games. Jumanji: Wild Adventures ...
Nobody loves a good party more than Wario, and he's finally back on Switch a brand new installment of his epic microgame series.

Features: Grab a pair of Jo...
It seems like just the other day that the free 'Whiteout' campaign was added to the Switch version of Vampire Survivors. Still, the team at Poncle isn't one to sit on its vampire-repelling laurels. They've already announced Adventures, a new game type that will be coming to Vampire Survivors in its next update. Three adventures will debut with said update, and they will support local co-op to boot.
Today is the official Extra Life Game Day, so obviously, we'll be playing way too many co-op video games, and hopefully raising more donations for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! Come hang out with us on our Twitch channel, and more importantly, please shoot us a donation!
Shortly before Halloween, Vampire Survivors got a big, free update on Xbox, Steam, and mobile. The Switch version of the update, however, experienced a last-minute delay. Thankfully, the update has finally arrived on the Switch, so up to four local players can now battle monsters (but no actual vampires) in the snowy Whiteout level, Nintendo-style.
The Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset is a very nice headset in many ways, but the stock strap that's used to hold the headset onto your head is uncomfortable and difficult to adjust. Meta wants users to buy their fancy Elite Strap accessory, but it sells for a steep $70. Thankfully, third-party manufacturers are already offering affordable ...
The point 'n' click adventure genre isn't especially known for innovation. The main gameplay gimmick is in the name, after all. Once in a blue moon, however, some developer comes along and tries something different, like way back in 2004 when the Spanish developer Alcachofa Soft released their title Mortadelo y Filemón: Una Aventura de Cine, which featured LAN/online co-op for two players (the Steam release changed it to local co-op only). Was it janky, and did it suffer from soft-locks due to accidental sequence breaking? Yes. Was it still an awesome and unique experience? Definitely. We don't know of any other point 'n' click adventure ever trying the same before or after that, until this month when COWCAT added 4-player local co-op (!) to their already unique "Punch & Click" Adventure, BROK the InvestiGator. What a very nice surprise.
The original Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! is a solid beat 'em up featuring an appealing art style that closely matches that of the European Asterix comics. Given the positive fan reaction, it's no surprise that Microids and developer Mr. Nutz Studio quickly set out to work on a sequel. Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! 2 is now set to arrive on consoles and PC on November 13, a date that falls in line with the release target promised back in June.
Before eventually going out of business, Data East released numerous arcade games across a variety of genres. While many of their games are lesser known, various collections, re-releases, and remakes continue to trickle out. Joe & Mac, for instance, has already seen a remake in the form of New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja from Microids. Now Forever Entertainment (makers of The House of the Dead: Remake) is throwing their hat into the ring with Night Slashers: Remake, an HD version of Data East's cult classic beat 'em up.
